YOU CAN HAVE TWO WIVES IN THE ARMY, BUT ONE’S TOO MANY FOR ME: I’ll be on a panel on “Is Marriage Outdated?”, this February 12. Details:

AFF DC February Roundtable: Is Marriage Outdated?
The America’s Future Foundation will hold its monthly roundtable on Tuesday, February 12th. In the spirit of Valentines Day, we will consider the question of marriage. Is it outdated? Or, should we care about preserving the institution now more than ever?

Joining us will be James Polous, Eve Tushnet, and Jonathan Rauch, author of Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America. Also joining us will be Jamie Alan Aycock, a lawyer in Washington, D.C. and recent author of “Contracting out of the Culture Wars: How the Law Should Enforce and Communities of Faith Should Encourage More Enduring Marital Commitments” (PDF) in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy.

The event will take place at the Fund for American Studies, 1706 New Hampshire Avenue, NW, near Dupont Circle. Drinks at 6:30; Roundtable begins at 7:00. Roundtables are free for members, $5 for non-members. So join today! Please RSVP to Cindy Cerquitella at [email protected].

Eve adds: I’m not sure yet what I want to talk about (and whether I can be sufficiently non-pomo), so if you have ideas or want to yell at me or whatever, feel free to email. More details as I know them….
